Not as men apply it to refer to another man in a "religious" capacity, as some men label certain leaders of certain professing Christian denominations [i.e. Reverend Jones or Reverend Brown, etc.].

Just as Jesus tells us not to refer to any man as "Father" in this same religious sense [Matt.23:9] -- one's physical father, excepted -- the religious use of "father" in reference to a man is a blasphemy against the name of His Father in heaven. So should men also not use any of the "other" names of God in religious reference to other men for this same reason.

The names, "Holy" and "Reverend" are also biblically stated names of the Father in heaven, among others:

"...Holy and Reverend is His name." (Ps.111:9)

So, the title "Reverend" as applied in a religious capacity to a man isn't based on Bible teaching. It's not authorized by God. It's a blasphemy against God and a direct disregard for the command of Jesus Christ. Just as the religious reference to a man as "Father"... or "Holy Father" also is blasphemy of the highest order.

The names "Holy" and "Reverend," however, are in The Bible... and are declared as two of the Father's many biblical names not to be blasphemed. They are "Bible-based" when referring to Him.
